Default Changing brushes on washing machine motor?

I suspect it is the brushes.
It seems I have to take out the motor to get at them,
which seems quite complicated to me.
Also I don't have new brushes to put in.

I'm wondering if it is likely that the present brushes will work
if pushed in?
Or is there any temporary way of getting brushes to work for a while?


Running a machine with worn brushes is asking for further damage IMO.
Taking a motor out isn't at all difficult, nor does it require any special
tools - socket set or spanners. Changed them it Hotpoints many times, easy
job.
